Like you, I also hope Dr. meant the right lane. But, to continue with his scenario, think about this:
Car enters from 6 o'clock and wants to exit at 12 o'clock (get in the left or right lane per Dr. instructions). At the same time, another car enters at 3 o'clock and wants to exit at 9 o'clock (right lane per Dr.). How does the car coming from 3 o'clock continue past 12 o'clock if the 6 o'clock vehicle is in the left lane?
BTW, the sheriff says if you go 1/4 or 1/2 the way around, use the right lane. if you go 3/4, use the left lane. But, wait a minute, they also say STOP at STOP signs, not slow and go so they can't be right
